The witness also told officers that she saw LB Josh Johns attack the man and that several other LSU players were present and could have participated in the fight at Shady’s bar in Baton Rouge.

Jefferson, Johns and fellow LSU teammates Jarvis Landry and Chris Davenport were all questioned on Tuesday for about two hours after witnesses reported the players were involved in the fight.

Andrew Lowery, the man the witness said Jefferson kicked, gave the same account to police. He told police that he got involved in the fight after he saw several football players pull a man out of a black Chevy truck. The players then began beating Lowery.

Lowery managed to pull the man back into the truck, but that’s when the players started attacking him.

However, two Shady's employees said they saw Lowery throw the first punch, according to The Associated Press. "That's one thing we do know," the source told AP. That witness account goes against many of the contents of the police report.

Lowery, meanwhile, may be facing another issue as well. According to the Advocate, his ex-girlfriend, Elizabeth B. Siadous, 18, says in a petition for a temporary restraining order filed against Lowery that on Aug. 18, he followed her to a bar, cursed and yelled at her, cornered her several times and hit one of her friends.

It was one of at least three separate incidents of harassment she alleged in the petition, which was granted Wednesday.

As for his involvement in the bar brawl, a witness told police that the fight began because a man’s truck was blocked by another vehicle, and yelled for someone to move it.

Lowery’s face was found by police to be swollen. He had several bruises and blood on his shirt. He would not make any comment to the Advocate when reached Thursday.

Of the four men injured, one man had three fractured vertebrae and another man was knocked unconscious, police have told the Advocate.

Police searched Jefferson’s apartment Wednesday, seizing 49 pairs of shoes, including the ones worn in the fight, police said in a news release. Jefferson also gave police a DNA sample. No arrests were expected Thursday.

If arrest warrants are issued, charges likely will include second-degree battery and simple battery counts. Second-degree battery is a felony offense that carries a maximum five-year prison sentence upon conviction. Simple battery is a misdemeanor.

LSU coach Les Miles seemed surprised by the search after his Wednesday night radio show. Miles said, "Obviously there is an investigation going on concerning one of our teammates. It's a side distraction to a great season that we do not want. But I told our (players), we made our bed and now it's time to get it right."

Police are also looking into possible video of the fight on radio station 1210 AM The Score.
